What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fully remote, high-responsibility international role where I can lead strategy and operations—combining legal expertise, compliance, and brand growth to scale with confidence and speed.

I’m a bilingual Corporate & Labor Law Attorney and CEO who translates complex regulatory frameworks into actionable business strategy. With 10+ years of combined experience across labor law, corporate legal affairs, and business leadership, I build resilient operations that support growth.

As the founder and CEO of Sisterly & Co. (fashion and retail operations), I scaled a consumer brand from zero to internationally recognized retail placement, including Nordstrom. I lead the legal, strategic, and operational functions—brand positioning, supplier negotiations, contract drafting and negotiation, financial planning, and international market expansion—while driving content marketing and social media strategy that converts to sales.

I’m known for high-impact legal training and for balancing customer experience with disciplined compliance. Previously, I supported labor and corporate law work as a paralegal, served as a Legal Documentation Officer in retail banking, and began my customer-focused career delivering bilingual customer care for major U.S. telecom brands.
